ITS UP TO HEMPSTEAD VILLAGE \ : TO SOLVE TROLLEY SmiAHONj
So Says Surrogate Howell Who Feels There Is Im-1 mediate and Strong Need for Action To Safe-' guard Local Transit Facilities from Public' Standpoint—Not a Bus Advocate
SUES DENUST CORFL GOULD'S NORTH SQ)E VDIAGERS PROPOSE TO RESTORE
FOR INJURIES IN HIS OFnCE

Mineola, March 17.—"The solution of the trolley company's problem lies rtRht In the hands of the Vlllape of Hemp •tMUl," said Surrogate Leane D. Howell #oday, when asked what he thouKht •bout permitting' bus lines to compete with paralelllnR trolley lines.
Burrogatc Howell explained his re¬ mark by saylnf? that the Village of Mln- neola had refused to grant a franchise to the bus plying along the line of the Hcmpstead-Mlneola trolley route, that Garden City had refused to grant such a franchise and that If the Village of Hompstead would withdraw Its permit allowing the bus to operate in the vil¬ lage tho revenue would not be snatched from the trolley com[)any.
"Give the trolli-y company a chance," said the Surroagte, "you can't expect It to give better spi'vlce If you are per¬ mitting some one to take it.s revenue. Htoi) the bus lines competing with the trolley and then Insl.st that the trolley compuny give the right kind of .Mpi-vicv. Tho summer business is corning now and the buses arc becoming more nu¬ merous, now Is tho time to act,"
Surrogate Howell also said that if tho towns und villages nrioptcd .section 26 of th(,' State transportation laws tho Public Hervico Connnission would auto¬ matically become responsible and thut bus lines could then be operated only after showing the commission that they were necessary.
That tho financial difficulties of the New York and Long Island Traction Company are more pronounqcd than Is generally known was voiced today by a man who said that at the present
dally losses the trolley line, which op¬ erates through Mineola, Hempstead, Freeport, Rockville Centre and Lyn¬ brook through to Brooklyn, could not long mntlnue.
He said the trolley company waa op¬ erating at a loss of $175 a day on the line between Mineola and Kreeport and that Its debt to the Ix)ng IsLind liallroad Company for power amounted to many thousands of dollars which might nev^ be paid.
He al.so said the troubles of the trolley company had been accentuated by the
Mrs. Blanche Waterboiy of Rock- yiOe Centre Sayi Her Stmg^gles While Under Inflaence of Gas Caused lojiines Worth $50,000 —Dr. McBride Makes General Denial
Mineola, March 17,—Mrs. Blanche Waterbury of Rockville Centre Is suing Dr. George McBrldo of 115 West 42nd street. New York, in Supreme Court here for $60,0000 damages.
Mrs. Waterbury claims she was In¬ jured when she went to Dr. McBrlde's to have teeth extracted. She claims while under Influence of gas, and In her struggle, her left knee, left leg, right leg and arms were injured.
The case is being heard before a Jury
short-sighted policy of the company of-land Juctice Faber of the .Supreme Court.
Dr. McBrlde, as his own witness, said In his testimony that he was sure Mrs. Waterbury had rigt been hurt. He made a general denial of all her charges, and m.aintained he pave her gas for the pur¬ pose of extracting teeth at her own re¬ quest. He quotes her as saying she Mras tickled to death to think she could have the teeth taken out without knowing it.
flcials at other times. In explaining this he .said the company had cried, "wolf, wolf" when there was no wolf, and now when the wolf of ab,solute pov¬ erty does Khow Its head that it was hard to make people believe it. In other words, thoy want to know if tho trolley company really is hard up or Is the poverty plea Ju.'it another moans of try¬ ing for higher faros?
The answer to this, tho spr'aker said, was too evident, that the trolley com¬ pany really wa.s "broke."
In connection with the trolley situa¬ tion on the Houth_ Side It is pointed out that tho North Side did not know what they were losing until tliey wore brought face to face with the abandon¬ ment of the linos and saw tho business that was formerly brought to their doors diverted to other places.
In exr>lanation It may be .sjiid that al¬ though Mineola has not granted a fran¬ chise to tho Jlineola-Hempstoad ¦ bus, that bus makes a terminal In Mineola village and has a regular stop there to take on passengers.

There is about twenty miles of line

feel that the beneflt fo tho communities

In explaining this he .said the company had cried, "wolf, wolf" when there was no wolf, and now when the wolf of ab,solute pov¬ erty does Khow Its head that it was hard to make people believe it. In other words, thoy want to know if tho trolley company really is hard up or Is the poverty plea Ju.'it another moans of try¬ ing for higher faros?
The answer to this, tho spr'aker said, was too evident, that the trolley com¬ pany really wa.s "broke."
In connection with the trolley situa¬ tion on the Houth_ Side It is pointed out that tho North Side did not know what they were losing until tliey wore brought face to face with the abandon¬ ment of the linos and saw tho business that was formerly brought to their doors diverted to other places.
In exr>lanation It may be .sjiid that al¬ though Mineola has not granted a fran¬ chise to tho Jlineola-Hempstoad ¦ bus, that bus makes a terminal In Mineola village and has a regular stop there to take on passengers.
